Pull plants at Logan Springs: The Ozark Society Sugar Creek chapter is partnering with the Nature Conservancy at Logan Springs Preserve in Benton County for a work day, picnic and hike at 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Invasive plant removal will take place followed by lunch at the spring, lake or pond. Volunteers should bring lunch, water and work gloves.
Hikers trek Homestead Trail: Hill N Dale Hiking Club will hike Thursday the Hedges Homestead Trail in the Buffalo River area. This can be either a 4.8 mile out and back or the return hike can be a bushwhack along the river, making it a loop hike. This bushwhack is a little shorter route, but involves some difficult boulder scrambling and climbing through a couple of ravines.
